my reflection

When I was in the 8th grade I woke up the day before school started and said to myself I will do better this school year. I will try to get all A's this year I will not fail anything this year. I will try to do better. Then I found myself at graduation with one "A" and I was proud. My plan didn’t work out because I was too lazy to do the work but I wanted to get really good grades. Now I find myself in high School about to pass the 9th grade with honors. When I first started going to Parkway West High School I though that high school would be horrible. I thought that the teachers didn't care and would let you fail and idly stand by. But as I have been here I see that that isn’t the case. I see that they really do care and that has made a change in me to want to do better and try not to be lazy. I really want to understand what I am learning and not just pass and not have earned or learned anything. I see a change in my attitude towards education in its self and the educational system in its entirety. I am more disciplined and have more self control because of this experience and have a more education central look on my future. I have also made more friends that are there to up lift me and help me to get better grades. They have helped me to become a rounded person with better views and a better over all person. I believe that this experience made me grow up and mature and become more like an adult in some ways. I think that this lesson was a good lesson learned and it will stick with me and I will not go back into bad habits. I think that this has opened my eyes to how important not only education is but being and over all good person. I think that I am on my way to being the best person I can be.

boy locked in washer machine

I read an article on a little boy that was locked in a washer machine because of a joke at first but then it became serious because the cycle started and the boy was still in the machine.  The man that the little boy was with didn’t know that the machine was fully paid for the cycle and so when he closed and locked the door the cycle began. There is video of the whole thing on this page. Andrea Taylor said, “this is unacceptable they put this child in real danger that could have killed him this is not cool. This little boy was only one years old and one wrong move he wouldn’t be alive.’’ I agree with Andrea she is totally correct these people who were watching his child were being totally irresponsible they could have killed that little boys. It is sad that he was with adults and one being his parent and he was still put in danger. I think that that a should not be trusted with that child anymore and until he really proves himself to being responsible he should not b promoted to being along with his son. Even if this was a practical joke this was not funny who would put their child in a washer machine even if they knew it wouldn’t turn one. No responsible parent think. Khadidrah said, “I think it is crazy watt had a happened to that little baby boy.” I think that there should be serious repercussions to this. Behavior like this from adults with children is totally inappropriate and dangerous. 

more african americans and minorities on TV shows

This article was about their being a lot f white or Caucasian people on TV shows and their not being more minorities as main characters in mostly all of our television shows. This article is about how it should be made normal not just to see a white person as a lead character or as a really prominent character. But we should see all different kinds of people from all different walks of life. People should be able to relate tithe people they see on the television show. People should essentially see themselves all the time on the TV and is movies. I believe that this is true and that their should be different kinds of people on these shows and we should be able to say that their are more African American, Asian, Hispanic, or islanders on shows and movies that are seen all around the world people need to know about other cultures and they shouldn’t think third is just one kind of person that can do what we see in the movies or in these TV shows. We should have it be common for people of all races be on out magazine cover, TV shows, movies, and even the people we see performing, I think that with them not doing this their is an unrealistic lens that we create that makes the world seem like their is only mainly one kind of person in it. Andréa Taylor said “ we need more Blacks, Italians, Asians, and Hispanics on these TV shows, they only have white people on them” I agree with her.

this i believe

I read on article on this I believe about a man who looses all sense of seeing humanity in people. He has been personally miss treated. This made him "cynical and mean". He has been deported from his home country among other mistreatments. He lost faith in people and their humanity and their goodness. But then after this he finds the good parts of life and not the negative. He then fined that people can be sweet and caring. They can help and be protective and want to help other people for humane reasons. After he finds this he finds that he doesn’t have to be as mean of a person and that he can be nice and can be a persons friend and trust that they will not let him down. I have the same feeling that no one really cares about anyone else. They only care about them getting ahead in life or what they can gain from a situation. People can be mean and cruel and can be very hurtful and ignorant. But I think that when you really dig deep into people we have god parts as well. Just cause we sometimes only show the bad parts and we really hurt people. But I don’t believe all people are wicked I know we do bad things but we all still try to help or have tried to help things in the only way we know how. If we want things to be better and if we think that it will help someone or people or something weather it be right or wrong it is totally dependent on our knowledge and our experiences. article

gun fashion

I think that it is cool that people can protect themselves with guns when necessary. But I do think that their should be strict guidelines went it is and is not appropriate. Having guns and firing them at will is not appropriate and the fact that it is so generalized to have a gun registered or not and keeping one on you at any time is scary. People can become reckless when angry nod if they have a weapon on them many situation in my option the probably could have been resolved through an quick argument and never seeing or talking to that person again wail now result in deaths because the gun was just simply their at their disposal. People should be able to have a gun and officers should be able to carry guns on them. If we let people carry guns at any time and any way they want it put then on the level of an officer and it gives them the perception that they age capable of doing thing the shouldn’t. Though this fashion statement is very stylish and trendy the message that it is sending is wrong Alisha reed said “ this is amice trend it is cute I like it but this something that I would have to think about. This may change society very drastically” I agree this stuff that is going on may change peoples perception of safety and who is safe. This is a huge topic with many different options.

health fair blogg

We had a health fair at Parkway west. This Health Fair had many different booths that touched on different topics surrodinging not only teenage health but health in general. There were booths galore that ranged from STDs, to eating healthy and everything in between. The familiar and reoccurring topic was awareness and protection. They gave out many pamphlets that were about, healthy eating, pregnancy, adoption options, and drugs. They gave out condom and lubricant and they preached that having intercourse is okay and everyone does it. The only bad thing is when you don’t protect your self from the potential harms that can come from it. Many kids really didn’t like taking the condoms and others were comfortable with discussing sex and the ways to protect your self. There were instructions that told you how to used each product they gave you. I think that it is nice that people care about how children are acting and what they are doing to their bodies. I feel good that if I need help bout and type of health and anything that I might fear I might be doing bad thing to it I can talk to someone that can really help the situation. I also think that we should have a health class because people are doing this and do not know what they are getting into I think that one day f spreading health awareness is not enough I think that we need to have an active class about it at least once a month that informs about new contraceptives and new opinions about what is realty to kids today. 

Tami Roman's mild heart attack

This article was about the reality star Tami Roman suffered a mild heart attack. Tami Roman is one of the stars on the hit reality shown "Basketball wives". Tami Roman, 41, was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a medical emergency room. She reported being under the weather and said she was fine and is on the road to recovery. I think that Tami is blessed and should be thankful for her life. But she was fighting one of the co-stars on the show with her and that would not help the way she was feeling. Also Tami is a very loud and boisterous person and is usually apart any drama that is going on the girl. Also Tami might exaggerate why she was admitted to the hospital. She might just be doing this for publicity and to get money or discovered off of this. Also I think that basketball wives are really mainly about drama and that that’s what the show cell. But many people have an idea that maybe some arguments might be played up for the camera and they wonder is their favorite stars life’s really as dramatic as they portray them on the show. I think the fight that Tami had might have been doing more for the camera and may be trying to make her life seem more sad and dramatic. Though I don’t think Tami is lying that there was something wrong with I think that she just wanted to make a few extras dollars off of it.
